DELTA GREEN: EYES ONLY HB 1st Limited

** expired/removed eBay auction **

Anyone who would like to ask a question about this auction please feel free to do so. I would advise not mentioning RPGMarketplace in your question though (or limit the number of mentions to a reasonable number if you can), because I'll probably make the question public in the auction. Even if this auction ends up breaking the eBay record for most number of questions asked, I promise to do my best to answer them all.

I logged in to the site, clicked the Advanced search on all Open Auction for Both site & store and I can click on all the BuyNow icons...

How did you do it... since I can't make mine not work

I decided to list my Mysteries of Tibet monograph on the marketplace and posted a link in the Yog-Sothoth.com for sale forum.

Also used the opportunity to do a bit of "marketing" for the site at the same time.

Hi Doug, just perform a search eg. "Cthulhu", the first item listed with a BUY NOW button is fine (the button is clickable), every other BUY NOW button is non-functional. HOWEVER! This may be an IE only problem as Safari works just fine.

Yup, Microsoft still persists with this junk offering and still commands better than 80% of the browser market. I hear IE8 will finally break the Internet once and for all. Mission accomplished. The ProBid developers must have decided to handle it separately.

Well, I host a website with over 7500 users and around 4600+ hits a day of late. Been online since March 1, 2003 with over 13 million hits...

the stats show:

MSIE: 68.11 % (8917610)
Mozilla: 28.41 % (3719499)
Opera: 2.028 % (265521)
Konqueror: 0.064 (8455)
Lynx: 0.001 (248)
Search engines: 0.627 (82188)
Unknown: 0.745 (97607)

I'd have to say IE is not in that 80% range anymore

Still waaaaaay over 0% though, which is highly unsatisfactory.

Or better yet, perform a search for "Hastur" three times in a row.

Red Bus became the 100th user at RPGMarketplace.com on July 3rd.

He was awarded a Preferred Seller status and pays no fees for anything at all on the site (not that anyone has paid for anything to begin with)

Glad to see people still signing up on the site and a steady stream of sales means eBay isn't getting all the cash anymore

I have sold 3 items so far and have continued to list copies of my monograph.
It was nice not having to see a portion of the sale sucked into that black void of "eBay fees".

I had an account. Apparently, my password no longer works, so I asked for it to be reset. Never got the email. Therefore, I cannot use the site for anything but looking, which makes it rather useless, really. Oh, and I still refuse to pay for an email address.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

If you go to the Members Area after you login and click on "Selling" then click on the submenu "Sold" it shows all the items you have sold. Below the description of the item, it has a link:

â€¢ Send Product(s) Invoice

Just click that and you can send an invoice.

My only issue with the link is you can't edit anything to change the invoice, give a discount etc. So if you must do that, you have to send one from PayPal instead... if the posted shipping and sold price don't need to be changed, it works fine.

Yes, you still have an account, not sure why you didn't get the password reset email mail, unless your spam filter snagged it.

You don't have to "pay" for an email address... though I am sure your internet access isn't free... and whatever ISP you pay to get on the internet, gives you an email address... though gmail.com is allowed on the site and has been since about 3 days after it went online.

If you want a new password, PM me and I'll reset it... then you can login and change it.

How long does it take to receive a reply to a request for opening a seller's account?
